During his tour, Bryzgalov met famed cosmonaut Valery Tokarev, who walked in space twice before he retired in 2008. Tokarev gave Bryz a tour of the facility before the Philadelphia Flyers and current CSKA Moscow netminder found out what it's like to don a space suit.

Afterward, Bryzgalov said, via Google translation, "I'm interested in space and I did learn a little bit, but more by the stars - as infancy universe, how it all happened."

Now the question is how soon until Bryz gets that guest spot on Big Bang Theory, or at least a starring role in a "2001: Space Odyssey" reboot once his Flyers' contract finally comes to an end ... or gets amnestied.
